@smooth just also pointed out that problem of inactive and lost stake, which I had failed to reckon. However, the problem of inequity and it's centralizing influence remains, and so does the problem of tortuous harm presently ongoing.

The proposal may not solve the threat of influence the founder's stake represents, but it does solve inequity and tort, insofar as they can be solved. We are in the situation we are in, vis a vis the founder's stake, and sometimes it's best to pucker up and kiss the pig when the music plays.

Thanks!
